Grazi Massafera, 39, announced about seven months ago the end of her fixed contract with Globo, after 16 years of exclusive partnership. At the time, she said she would be back “soon”. And she really came back! The actress has just signed a contract for a participation in the new 9 pm soap opera.
The contract will be short and was confirmed by the actress’ advice on Tuesday (14). She will be the mother of influencer and now actress Jade Picon, 20, in “Travessia”, written by Glória Perez and which should succeed “Pantanal” on the station’s grid. But her character will die in the first chapters.
Coincidence or not, Grazi’s choice for the role brings together two former BBBs. Grazi was in second place in Big Brother Brasil 5 and Jade was in the last edition of the reality. While the former is one of the most striking cases of ex-BBBs who became artists, Jade aroused some suspicion and criticism.
The Sindicato dos Artistas do Rio de Janeiro (Sated-RJ) even said that the influencer has no record to act. “There is nothing against Jade Picon, particularly, but we have to protect our category”, said Hugo Gross, president of the institution, after the first rumors about the project.
Despite the agreed participation with Globo, Grazi remains one of the most quoted to star in the remake of “Dona Beija” on HBO Max. By Wilson Aguiar Filho (1951-1991), the feuilleton was the first telenovela of the extinct Rede Manchete, in 1986, with Maitê Proença in the title role and directed by Herval Rossano.
